SmartyPal sponsored by the NSF to attend the Consumer Electronics Show

09 Jan SmartyPal sponsored by the NSF to attend the Consumer Electronics Show

SmartyPal was selected by and funded to represent the NSF at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this past week. Technical.ly Philly featured us in a write-up about our sponsorship and our experience there.

SmartyPal then applied for a free booth at the trade show and landed it, alongside 20 other grant recipients.

“It’s startup as far as the eye can see,” CEO Keith Gornish said during a phone interview. “We’re excited to be here representing NSF.”

(Yes, you read “CEO” right: Gornish came to SmartyPal in 2016 to help build up the company’s business strategy. Founder Prasanna Krishnannow wears two other hats: Chairman and Chief Product Officer, with a focus on building the platform itself.)

“I think that one of the takeaways from CES is how broad the application and use cases for the SmartyPal technology is,” Gornish said. “We’ve had a lot of conversations that reenforce the opportunity to scale our technology.”
